Controversial opinions on metal

[The Ozzman]

there's no catchy choruses or anything, so the songs aren't memorable.

Listen to Bleak and then tell me this.

Therion's new album absolutely OBLITERATES everything else they've done & their early stuff was boring as shit.

Gothic Kaballah is a fucking awesome album. I wouldn't say it's their best (I love Deggial, Vovin, Lemuria/Sirius B, Secret of the Runes, etc.), but definitely one of their best.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Load and Reload are two of my favorite albums ever.

Interesting,while maybe not my favorite album,at least Load is way better than most people say in my opinion.

 

[Mort Divine]

Tim Owens is better than Rob Halford.

That is controversial...

 

[Einherjar86]

I agree here too... put an Iron Maiden or Priest bassline up against a Duran Duran or Madness one for technicality & we'll see who comes up trumps...

Controversial metal opinions:
1. Metallica suck huge cock & always have (average at best)
2. Iron Maiden & Judas Priest annoy the shit out me most of the time, amuse me some of the time & impress me far less often then they should, given the amount of people who won't shut up about them.
3. Raining Blood is not the only Slayer song, I don't care who the fuck you are, cover something else.
4. Metalheads in general bore & irritate the shit out of me. (yes I am into metal)
5. Because someone is a pioneer, it does not make them THE authority/benchmark. (Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen)
6. "Broodal" & "kvlt" aren't even real fucking words... why do so many metalheads insist on using them... "brutal" shits me too... english is a fascinating language, use it & all it's adjectives.
7. "throwing horns" is just fucking AAAARRRGHHHHH!!! Why are you doing it?!!
8. putting clean vocals in a song, where the bulk is screamy or growly (or vice-versa) has been done to death, leave it.
9. On paper, Opeth should be my favourite band... yet they're boring as shit & fucking suck... AND...
10. Metal is dead... or at best stagnant.

I like your elitism; but as a general rule, I have to find something to disagree with all elitists about (because I'm one too).

5. Because someone is a pioneer, it does not make them THE authority/benchmark. (Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen)

Black Sabbath is a landmark upon the historic path of metal. They're immortal. In order to see where all metal came from, we trace our ways back to Sabbath.

And metal can't die; the gods made heavy metal.

Tim Owens is better than Rob Halford.

FAIL AND A HALF! I seriously hope this is a joke

I agree actually

I find most metal before late 80s too simplistic and poppy. The prog-rock from that era is far superior musically.

Maybe right now it seems like it, but back then it wasn't. Maybe in 20 years people may call Darkthrone simplistic and poppy.

 

[King Richard]

Tim Owens is better than Rob Halford.

The whole point in this thread is to state things that are controversial, not retarded.

No one is ever gonna call Emperor - Prometheus simplistic...or poppy.

 

[mutantllama]

Shh, I'm trying to make a point.

 

[~Neurotica]

I like Load and Reload.

I don't like Deicide, In Flames, CoF, CoB, DB and CC.
I still can't get into Cirith Ungol.

 

[mutantllama]

I think Lamb of God kicks serious ass. I'm gonna get a few of their cds.

I don't mind LoG.

Confession: Once I listened to Hatebreed, and I didn't mind it.

 

[Zephyrus]

I don't like Deicide, In Flames, CoF, CoD, DB and CC.

Hardly controversial opinions given the context of this forum.

 

[The Ozzman]

Deicide rules

 

[~Neurotica]

I got Chris Adler's sticks that he's been you seen, now you can touch me.

edit: I can't believe I just typed "using" as "you seen"... I need more of sleep...

 

[waif]

Deicide is mildly controversial.
In Flames? Hardly
Cradle Of Filth? Not at all
CoD? Call of Duty?
Cannibal Corpse? Not too controversial.
